Change to subscription billing.
Added 2024-10-05 05:52:19 +0000 UTCEdit: This page has now switched to subscription billing.
Hello, just wanted to let you all know that I'm switching over to subscription billing on this page. I'll make the change tomorrow in case anyone has any comments on the change, but Patreon is making it so this is going to be mandatory soon anyways, so there really isn't much to debate about it.
Subscription billing just means you are charged when you sign up, and then are charged again on the same date each following month, instead of future charges always being on the first.
So, with subscription billing, if you’re an existing patron, you'll continue to be billed every month on the 1st of the month. If you pledge to the account after the change, then instead of being billed when you sign up and then on the 1st of every following month, you'll be billed when you sign up and then billed again a month later on the same day.
If you're wondering why Patreon has made this change, here's their statement on it: "Apple’s in-app purchase system only supports Patreon’s subscription billing model. Apple has made clear that if creators on Patreon continue to use unsupported billing models or disable transactions in the iOS app, we will be at risk of having the entire app removed from their App Store."
So they don't really have a choice in the matter, but it doesn't change much for this page anyways. If you have any questions about the change, let me know.
